Oh yeah! Hood latches are a solid plus. For poles - I found some “garage” type pole holders that are straps. They go great between the roll bars and so the poles basically hang from the ceiling.
Rod Saver Vehicle Rod Carrier System https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KOU0TW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_TjeUAbV15KTPC
Lol well fyi the ~30$ rack is $20 atm during prime day. Just saying, it's one of the few items on amazon that actually went down in price for prime day.

*The Diawa Fuego I got for 75$ a few months ago is now 99 marked down to 75$... yea that's prime day.... "savings"
I don't have that case but I have an Allen one I bought from Amazon that I like which is half the cost.

like the rear flush mount rod holders? these are fine just drill the hole where you want them and use cheap pop rivets to hold them in place. Angle them out slightly if you plan on trolling with them so that the lines are separated more. For rod holders in front I prefer RAM mounts over the scotty ones just because they are easier to adjust positioning on and stuff
I like this
It’s a great rod rack, strong, light, and easy to relocate. It also looks a lot nicer than a pvc diy.
I️ have one of these:
Allen Cottonwood Fishing Rod & Gear Bag, Olive https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MK16O3O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_8fLbAb8SXG37N
I️ keep it in my house unless I’m on a trip, but it could easily be kept in my trunk. I️ like it because it’s not huge, so it forces me to keep my rods, reels, spools, leaders, tippet, fly boxes, tools, etc. organized between outings. I really love it.
I have this. I like it alot. It holds 4, 4 piece 9ft or shorter rods, 7 reels or spools, and has tons of pockets for everything else.

maybe it's the current I fish in, but I don't see balancing my rod like that as any easier or less of a risk (of dropping it) than just grabbing it under my armpit or popping it into this gadget or the loop in my vest.
Maybe a stupid suggestion, but would a fishing rod bag work?

something like this
https://www.amazon.ca/Plano-4442-Fabric-Green-42-Inch/dp/B009YSFW8Y/ref=sr_1_17?crid=LZ1J6XCHGO7S&keywords=fishing+rod+case&qid=1568749180&sprefix=fishing+rod+%2Caps%2C235&sr=8-17
this is it also check out Scotty rod holders too
Rerouting is one thing, that would suck either way, but replacing is easy enough. You just use the old wire as a pull string. Also, get yourself some flexible fiberglass rods to run the wire.
Here are the flush holders
And here's the swivel mount
It isn't fancy, but it works pretty well. This past Father's Day weekend, I took it about 200 miles to the Northern California coast. It was loaded with my Eagle Talon 120, a friend's Shadow Caster, all the fishing gear, and tons of camping gear for the weekend.
That little trailer handled it all like a champ, and tracked well even at 70mph and on the twisty mountain roads. For a few hundred bucks, I'm very happy with the trailer kit and build. I just have a few more final touches on it and it'll be perfect. Although to be honest, a good project is never done and I expect I'll be making mods on it forever.
ToDo list:
I'm in the process of building this cabinet to store most of my fishing gear. I will be adding two sets of these rod holder... Berkley Twist Lok Rod Rack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000XU0NB8/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_XIrxwbWJDZDBM
Is there anything you guys would add, or do differently? I'm going to want a second one, so I can play around with other ideas.
The handle sizes are different, I know. I should have paid more attention at Home Depot.
CAIKEI Fishing Rod Rack 2-in-1 Storage for Ceiling or Wall-Ultra Sturdy Strong Weatherproof Indoor and Outdoor Use https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MM3FN7X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_DLt7CbD1NTX60
They fit right over the stock ac tube mounts, just have to drill two 1/4” holes for the screws. And they are semi soft plastic so they conform to the curvature of the roof.
I have only one recommendation, they keep pipes from falling out.

Oh... sorry, I misread your question. Those are YakAttack rod holders. My buddy bought the basic one and added an 8” extension.
YakAttack Omega Rod Holder with LockNLoad Track Mounting Base https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078PL9DW8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_QUYBDbYBW73GN
And he added this:
YakAttack 8" Extension Arm for LocknLoad Track Mounted Accessories - Fits Omega Rod Holder, Omega Pro Rod Holder, and FFP Fish Finder Mounts https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G7CDY39/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BVYBDbNCFN2W5
Is this kind of what you're using?
Fishing rod clips
You can get extra 3750 or 3700 boxes.
I bought a wall rack that holds 14 of them, that way i just swap in what i need for game night
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B007RGATWO/ref=mp_s_a_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1502069090&sr=8-1-fkmr0&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=3700+tackle+box+rack
Also you should have got a small survey form in the box, you can fill it in and send with a couple of bucks and self addressed envelope and they will send you an engraved name plate.
Works well for Imp assault squads too
I've been speared in the hand when a fish rod broke while under pressure being pushed forcefully by my helper. I finished what I was doing and about a half hour later decided to go to the doctor when water came out of a different hole than the one I was spraying water at. The ass-hat doctor missed a decent chunk of fiberglass and I had to dig it out myself.
I also encounter fiberglass insulation, and it really sucks when the tiny fibers stick in a hot sweaty forearm.
TLDR: It sucks ass.
I got this rod holder for my boat, it has a slot for a knife and a slot for a pair of pliars (or in my case an even bigger knife) https://www.amazon.com/SeaSense-Single-Piece-Holder-White/dp/B004XAK90O/ref=sr_1_4?s=hunting-fishing&ie=UTF8&qid=1474594585&sr=1-4&keywords=rod+holder
I used to hold my rod under my arm. I recently purchased a Smith rod holder to clip to my bag and love it.
Smith Creek Rod Clip, Wearable Fishing Rod Holder, Green https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GM6I9BS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.pnHzbER1D2XP
I think that'll be a great boat to get started with for calmer water. I mean, as long as it's safe for where you are kayaking, the boat you have is much better than the boat you don't! Plus you can probably sell it towards the purchase of a new boat down the line if you want. The only downside to that boat, is you'll only want to use it when the water is warmer, because since the seat sits pretty low you're more likely to get wet... not a huge deal, just something to consider.
Looks like you should be able to lash a milk crate down behind your seat, and once that's in place you can use zip ties to attach 2-3 sections of PVC to it for rod holders, or use one of these:

I haven't bought one yet, but I'm planning to buy this for mine:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000KOU0TW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1OO9HX9M0PWZC&coliid=I1C5JI0A7V1HNV
I use this guy on the ceiling of my garage, holds 12 rods https://www.amazon.com/RackEm-7009-Overhead-12-Rod-Fishing/dp/B00A16NQTU/ They also have a wall mount variant that holds 6 rods.
> Unfortunately they don't or at least not the normal ones as far as i can tell. However I found these Wire racks that if you cut out every other one you could store 7 cases in it maybe build a box or screw them into a tote.
